It took some six weeks, but Marquis Daniels finally became a Celtic.
The 6-6 swingman long ago agreed to join the club, but the Celtics had been trying to work out a sign-and-trade deal that would benefit all sides.
The Celtics were trying to clear some roster space while giving Daniels a contract that was longer and more in line with his value. But when they could not come to an agreement with Indiana, the team Daniels is leaving as a free agent, Celtic director of basketball operations Danny Ainge went in search for a three-team transaction.
With training camp a month away and all avenues to a trade seemingly at a dead end, the sides agreed to the simple free-agent contract.
